I never feel supported in a swimsuit with the shelf bras. I purchased and wore it with my swimsuit and was very happy with the results. It gave me support and I didn't feel self conscious of my bust size like I usually do. My only complaint is that the straps can come unhooked if you are not careful when taking it off and on. A bit of a pain to put back on. All in all highly recommend.

I can pull this thing up to my bra line and it stays there! Smoothes out my rolls under a tankini top (I have a couple of It Figures! tankinis that I use these bottoms for). Very comfortable, flat 1" wide silicone lining in the "waist" band keeps it in place and doesn't roll. I want this in more colors, and preferably a little less expensive too...!

This is a cute bottom that is very well constructed and gives good rear coverage. I would give it 5 stars but it runs large (as many UK brands do). I am 5' tall, 110 lbs and the XS is still a little big for me. I kept it, but due to the fit only wear it for lounging by the pool. No active sports. Suggest you size down one size.

I am 5'7, about 130 pounds, and wear a size 30FF bra (my usual brands are Panache and Fantasie). I recently had a baby, and while I'm back to my "pre baby" weight, things just aren't the same, if you know what I mean... I wanted a bathing suit that would make me feel attractive but that would also help hide those trouble spots- particularly the tummy and hip area. I also needed good support in the bust.
I tried several fantasie and panache suits, but was disappointed. This suit, while it doesn't come in my size *technically* is adjustable enough to work. I purchased a tier 6, which was close enough (it says it fits a 32F, which is the right cup volume, but the wrong band size). When I tie it I do have some trouble because it's not meant to be tied so tight and the material is very thick where I need to tie it, but if you are larger than a 30 in band size, you should have no trouble at all. The straps can be adjusted both in length and in location. You can wear them like traditional bra straps or criss cross for added support.
The material is very thick. The body of the tankini is long. It comes to my hips and it stays there- no creep up! The whole body is lined well so it hides tummy pudge and hip pudge and what not. I paired it with the skirted bottom and it creates the illusion of a one piece. It looks a little like a retro swim dress when it's all together.
I've only owned it a short time, so I can't speak to how well it will hold up, but it seems top notch- far superior in fit and fabric to everything else I've tried. My only wish was that I could find this exact suit with a bra clasp (in my size, of course) rather than a tie, because I do worry about the tie coming undone (my baby girl loves to grab and pull at the ties).
I also wish it wasn't so expensive, but in all truth it's the first time I've felt good in a swim suit, and that's saying a lot.

I bought these bottoms for water aerobics, to wear with my tank top. It's my first time wearing bikini bottoms in years, so I'm still getting used to the way it feels. It was a worthwhile purchase FOR ME
